UNISA Yogyakarta Holds PPKPT Socialization for Structural Leaders

Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta conducted a socialization program on the Prevention and Handling of Violence in Higher Education Institutions (PPKPT) aimed at all structural leaders at the Siti Moendjiyah Building on Thursday (14/8).

The session was led by the Head of PPKPT, Wantonoro, S.Kep.,Ns., M.Kep., Sp.MB., Ph.D., who discussed the latest regulations based on Permendikbudristek Number 55 of 2024. In his presentation, Wantonoro explained that PPKPT aims to create a campus environment that is safe, comfortable, and free from all forms of violence, whether physical, sexual, or psychological.

He emphasized the importance of the role of all leadership elements in understanding prevention procedures, reporting mechanisms, and handling cases fairly, transparently, and from the victim’s perspective. “Preventing violence in higher education institutions requires not only clear rules but also a strong commitment from all parties to implement them,” said Wantonoro.

The socialization material also explained the formation of the PPKPT Task Force, which consists of lecturers, educational staff, and student representatives. This task force is responsible for receiving reports, conducting investigations, compiling recommendations, and providing medical, psychological, and legal assistance to victims.

The reporting process was also explained, starting from the complaint, follow-up, examination by the ethics council or student ethics committee, preparation of conclusions and recommendations, to the restoration of victims’ rights. This procedure is complemented by handling SOPs that emphasize the principles of confidentiality, reporter safety, and the involvement of relevant parties as needed.

With this awareness campaign, UNISA Yogyakarta hopes that all work units can consistently implement the PPKPT, thereby ensuring that the values of humanity, justice, and the safety of the academic community are upheld.
